Elbow pain is a common problem that can affect anyone
From office workers spending long hours at a computer to golfers, tennis players, and gym-goers. It can make simple daily activities like lifting a kettle, turning a door handle, or typing uncomfortable and frustrating.
At our clinic, we treat all types of elbow pain, including tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis), bursitis, tendon injuries, fractures and joint stiffness or instability. We start with a detailed assessment to identify what’s causing your pain—whether it’s muscle overload, poor movement patterns, or nerve irritation from your neck or shoulder.
Your treatment will be tailored to your specific needs and may include hands-on therapy, exercise rehabilitation, acupuncture, activity modification, and ergonomic advice. We’ll help you understand what’s driving your pain and give you the tools and confidence to manage it effectively.
Our aim isn’t just to reduce your pain—it’s to help you get back to your usual activities, whether that’s sport, work, or simply living comfortably day to day. You’ll leave feeling informed, supported, and in control of your recovery and make sure it doesn’t come back!
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes elbow pain?
Elbow pain often develops due to repetitive strain, overuse, or sustained positions—especially in people who type, lift, play racquet sports, or do manual work. It can also follow a specific injury. Sometimes the problem is linked to stiffness or weakness in the shoulder, wrist, or neck.
How long does it take to recover from elbow pain?
Mild cases can improve within a few weeks with the right treatment and activity modification. Longer-standing or recurrent elbow problems may take several months to fully resolve, especially if tendon healing or strengthening is required. Your physiotherapist will discuss expected recovery times at your first appointment.
